Teaching is a core component of our role and responsibility as faculty. Thus, for all promotions, a Teaching Portfolio is required. This section of the website provides background information on Teaching Portfolios and offers sample portfolios from the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, as well as from other departments within the School of Medicine.
